#NEUWRecordStoreWorldTour: We asked co-owner Jim Henderson from @AmoebaHollywood to share Amoeba Music’s Top Five Store Picks. Which is your favourite?
1. Black Flag, ‘Damaged’
The group nearly blew the roof off the joint when they blasted "Rise Above" in a brief reunion performance at the store in 2002.
Out of print - would only be available used if lucky in the store.
2. Elvis Costello, ‘Secret, Profane & Sugarcane’
Supporting his new release, Elvis played our Hollywood & SF locations on the same day in June 2009, and we accompanied him with cameras to document it all. He was great company, and, of course, put on an incredible show in each location.

3. Mos Def, ‘Black on Both Sides’
Going solo after his epic Black Star run with Talib Kweli, Mos Def tore it up to a hyped crowd; we got him to stop by just as his star was on the rise!
4. White Stripes, ‘White Stripes’
A relatively unknown Jack & Meg played for a small audience in our SF store in 1999 and rocked it! Shortly after the duo blew up!
5. Paul McCartney, ‘Amoeba’s Secret’, which was recorded from his epic 2007 in-store performance, a gig he described as "surreal and amazing," I concur!
